This post is bringing out the jokes which I'm enjoying too.
At least I'm being entertaining throwing these things out.
More brake lights is better and I like the look.
Some people like my ideas, others not so much.
My M6 vert has 540 rwhp and a 1200 watt RMS Stereo.

Since my car can make the jump to light speed Star Wars
lighting fits in and is fun

At least I didn't get the flashing lights LOL!

1) We're all glad that you like your car
2) Pick a theme. Either carbon fiber (without the glue showing), stainless steel, or LEDs in Blue or Green (not both).
3) It just looks tacky with EVERYTHING all together and not even cleanly installed. Less is more...

I like my car the way it is and don't share your opinion.
You can do yours how you like it.

You do realize that "Star Wars lighting" was developed during the time when disco was in its prime. That's not exactly a selling point....

It's just a coincidence.
I didn't set out with a Star Wars theme.
I knew some people would make jokes and beat me up before I posted this here.
Others would like it or some of it.

Always that guy at the corvette show that has that tacky car.. Each manufacturer has "that guy" Camaro guys have them, dodge guys have them etc etc. Next time you folks go to a car show look and you will see there is one in every bunch.. I think it's a old guy thing they seem to like it a lot not sure why though. if you like it cool but expect to be flamed for it.

Obviously the people below just from this post don't share your tackiness opinion.
But then you're probably "that guy" with the boring vanilla car.



Overall you car looks awesome...I bet it looks even better up close. Verts have become my favorite

Tough crowd today!
I like the look, I'm also a light person. On my 99 coupe I put LEDS under the door handles. When I unlocked the doors with the Fob the LEDS would activate. I also put them in the side vents.

I have always liked accent lighting and especially switching out the old bulbs for LED lights and i'd have to say I like your lighting there are a few things i'd do different as far as positioning and stuff but your car looks sweet and some of the older guys don't get lighting its just not their thing so do what makes you happy

You can do yours how you like it.
Look sweetheart, it's called the internet. When you put pictures up on it (especially in a public forum) you get comments both agreeing and disagreeing with your personal tastes. Don't get mad because other people don't like it..you like it and that's what matters.

Who cares if we think that your car is a shining example of what happens when Corvettes get affordable? It's actually a brilliant troll. No one would take it seriously until they saw the blower

It's actually being called worse at on a few forums and Facebook. I can take screen shots if you don't believe me.

Well you can say you don't like it but your tone is dictating to me what I should do with my car, hence my retort.

Nope. I legitimately don't care, I have a C6.

There's just too much going on and none of it work to create a cohesive design.

Your car though, do what makes you happy.

I'm not offended some people don't like it and wasn't expecting ohhh and ahhh merely pointing out opinion was split.
Critics are always more numerously vocal and ruthless than admirers but there's nothing more to be said so lets leave it at that.
